Update: No more guessing, folks. There will be a source for black market 3G iPhones because there will be some carriers that will sell it contract-free with pre-paid cards. Vodafone Italy have announced their iPhone 3G prices with pre-paid cards (no contract, no monthly fees). The iPhone 3G 8GB will retail at 499 euro, while the iPhone 3G 16GB will cost you 569 euro. Well, tables have finally turned and it seems Europe (instad of USA) will be the place to get your black market iPhone now.

Does anyone know if you can send/receive picture messages? also can you play normal mp3 music or do you have to buy itunes. sorry about these questions i may be a new iphone user so i just want to get some info.

@ the guy who frogot his name.
i didnt say iphone 3g was cheaper than other phones i just said iphone 3g costs more over a 2 year period than iphone gen 1. and another thing i 4got to mention: isnt this one of the only 3g phones without videocalling capabilities? it definitely is one of the only 3g devices which cant record video. compare its specs to that of all other smartphones and u notice iphone is behind. if u want to compare specs compare it to htc shift, advantage, nokia n96. bcos it has worse specs than others doesnt mean ppl wont buy it tho. got 2 admit it has a great UI.

Apple are lagging in the phone industry, look at other companies, they copied iphone's design and made better phones (Samsung I900).They should have better quility camera, HSDPA 7.2 and sell the phone all over the world! so we do we have to crack the damn phone.
